The sunshine was so beaa tiful after such a deluge as we have had, and the earth beiug too wet for planting, the farmers took advantage of the good weather to come to town.

On Wednesday the scholars carried a petition to the trustees of the college request ing them to sane ion tneir running away frcm school on the following day.

II. .Jennings Gives His Impressions of the Country?Fertile Lands?Plenty of Vegetables, ?c. Mr. Editor: Your issue of Saturday, 27th inst., reached me to-day. Perhaps a short le'.ter may no: be unacceptable to your readers. Leaving Wiunsborc on the midnight train of Wednesday, 24th, v,*e came by ihe F. C. & P. route to Citra, Tshere we were met wiUi conveyances and came across the country about live miles, reaching' 'his point about 3 p. m. ThurS'i a*, without accident or notable incident. I am inclined to the opiouion that wc came at ihs right time to see Florida at her :.)es(. Vegetation here is abaut a month ahead of Fairfie'd. Fores'; frees are clad in their spring, the leaves are about grown, and together with the festoons of mess dra-1 r>srv ^resent a contrast of weird | beauty, if such a thiDg caa be. English peas, cabbages, Irish potatoes, celery, onions and beets are the vegetables now being eaten and shipped. Scans are in bloom and the vines hanging with young beans, which will be ready for table and shipment in a week or less; tomatoes are preparing to bloom, while cacumbe s and squashes arc in the nc&r future? already the plants arc beginning to put out runners. This:- of your readers who, like myself, never visited Florida (until now), i.::ve ni' course heard and read nf Tin" ri^h hammock land-, but Ihev can never have a true conception of their fertili y until '.licy sec them, both in their natural state and under cultivation. Ju t imagine a llchl which has been in ciltivrtio:; for:y or fifty years, y:ccis>" .. average crop of from two;: - .0 (0 forty bu-hels of corn to acre wirhoat a poun J of fertilizer ut kind. Contrary 10 my preconceived idea, i find some considerable hills, but in the hammocks they seem to vie in fertility with our very bcst bottom lauds, and not a sign nf m v.'My'i nr even where rhov have been cultivated for many years. I heard that the reason of this is tint just as soon as the corn and other crops are laid by. which is some time in May or early in Jnno, there conies up such a rank ^rosveh of weeds that the rains can make no headway against them, and there are no heavy rains here before about. July. Lint you must not, imagine that Florida is ad hammock, nor that it i* all rich <>r hilly. The poor pine lands are, or seem to be, largely in the ascendency. You may travel mile after mile in some portions of this State where the sarmy land seems as poor a^ the desert of Sahaia. with nothing Our. pise trees aucl dwarf .-edge till the monotony bccomes painful. j I will tell you cow <j[ cur visit to ! Mcintosh an:! Orange Lake, a-ul tr.e;i j stop for this lime. Saturday aftcrn-.? >n we went by rrivatc convevance up '<> Mcintosh, a small town seven mile? north of li.is place, ami ?il aiunir the road we \ assert fields (not p?tc.".es) of : cabbages. I lCCivon 1 wiii run cx:iLrj ?erutc i 1 -ay we saw :i thousand acres of nieiii: mi lions of those wiii r never be sold, nor adorn a dinner table, but vrili rot jast where they are. La<-t \c^r was a line year lor them, and it was a paying crop, and it seemed to set the truck farmers wild, so Ibis year thsy increised the acreage, &o i that tikiv is n.it enough demand to j pav me ircigni. niu i?v:w:i-? u;o I therefore planting coru, or pindars, or j squashes, or cacambeis, or some otber | crop between the rows of cabbages [ OTirl 'Acviiur 1 r? flip 5O11 it'there are any fertilizing properties in tfcem. Mcluto-h is a piei'y little town nestling amongst t.he hills, and adorned by nature with !he linest live oaks I ever saw, while thousands, perhaps, of palmettos, sofr e of them reaching, I should think, seve..ty-iive feet or more without limb or leaf, except at the top, looking very much like a huge umbrella vrith a lon<r handle.
